See You
Lady Lamb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have we fucked ourselves over?
Making our worlds so close
Your skin to my bone
Have I fucked myself over?
Making my chaos calm
Your pennies in my palm
Have we fucked ourselves over?
Making our world so right
Overnight

If I see you when I look in my own eyes
How could I ever despise myself again?

(Have I fucked myself over?)





My bones to your skin

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lady Lamb's "See You" convey a sense of fear and vulnerability that often comes with intimacy. The opening question "Have we fucked ourselves over?" is a reflection on the potential danger of losing individual identity when two people become too close. The phrase "Your skin to my bone" is a metaphor for how intertwined the two people have become. She questions if this closeness has harmed their sense of self-worth and independence, with the lines "Have I fucked myself over? Making my chaos calm / Your pennies in my palm". It seems like she is worried that the relationship might have muted her chaos, her wildness, and given her a sense of false stability.


The chorus presents a different perspective, asking how could she ever despise herself again if she sees the other person in her own reflection. It shows how the relationship has given her a sense of validation and worth beyond just her own self-perception. Yet, the song ends on the same question it started with, "Have I fucked myself over?" suggesting that while love and intimacy can be fulfilling, they can also be perilous.
